Akuze
It was in the ‘90s that Akuze started to establish himself in graffiti culture. With the prolific AFP Crew, he decorated the trains and inner-city railway corridors throughout the western suburbs – always defining himself as a writer, never an artist. Akuze’s love and strong connection with those inner western suburbs and his appreciation of mother nature inspired a style of geometric and organic shapes that became distinctive in his pieces.

As a strong advocate for the rights and development of young people, Akuze works closely with the 12–25-year-old demographic – implementing and facilitating programs focusing on the therapeutic benefits and potential careers pathways offered by both art and sport.
He currently works with some of the country’s most marginalised, at-risk and disengaged young people throughout remote areas of Australia.
